The same roadmap we saw two days ago which revealed the price of
Merced (Itanium) chips has also revealed Intel's view about double
date rate memory (DDR).

For quite some months, many in the PC industry have been puzzled
as to why Intel is choosing DDR for the server market and Rambus is
the memory technology of choice for the desktop. [Maybe they should
read the contract between Rambus and Intel -- Ed]

But Intel has quite clearly delineated its stance on DDR in the
document we have seen, aimed at its OEMs but clearly excluding the
Dell Corporation.

An Intel roadmap seen by The Register indicates that the Celeron
processor will shuffle off its mortal coil towards the end of the
first quarter next year, displaced by the system-on-the-chip
solution codenamed Timna.

But there's life in the old Celeron dog yet, according to the
roadmap. As revealed here yesterday, the 633MHz and 666MHz Celerons
will arrive at the end of the month, to be followed in Q3 by a
700MHz Celeron, and in Q4 by a 733MHz Cu128K.

In the third and fourth quarters, the line between the Celeron
Cu128K and the Timna, begin to get blurred, with a mixture of both
product lines as Intel readies itself to kick the damned thing into
touch in Q1 2001.

New desktop chip completes PIII lineup. Intel Corp. took the
wraps off of its 933MHz Pentium III chip for desktop PCs, Wednesday.

The new chip, which will show up first in high-end desktop PCs,
fills in the last gap in Intel's (Nasdaq: INTC) current Pentium III
lineup. The company leaped from 800MHz to 1GHz (1,000MHz) in early
March and later that month issued 800MHz and 866MHz desktop Pentium
III chips.

PC makers will offer the new chip first in high-end desktops.
IBM, for example, is offering the chip in the new Aptiva 990
desktop. The new PC, priced at $2,109, includes the 933MHz chip,
128MB of synchronous dynamic RAM, a 40GB hard drive and a
CD-rewriteable drive.

The new processor for desktop PCs is priced at $744 in 1,000 unit
quantities. Intel officials say it is available in quantity now.

A shortage of display and memory components is frustrating buyers
looking to purchase Palm devices.

Where have all the Palms gone? Many consumers hoping to buy a new
Palm PDA are finding retailer's shelves bare and online shopping
carts empty.

The Palm shortage, the company says, results from a combination
of high seasonal demand and a shortage of LCD panels and flash
memory, two critical components used to construct the devices. (The
same shortages, as reported by ZDNet, are also affecting cellular
phone handset vendors.)

In an intriguing announcement Intel says it will work with
Mitsubishi to produce chipsets for 3G mobile phones.

The intrigue largely comes from what's left unsaid, rather than
the commitments. Cellular manufacturer Mitsubishi stop short of
saying will produce devices, committing more cautiously to marketing
'chipsets and software' in Japan as a result of the agreement.

Nor is there any mention of StrongARM in the release, but it's
obvious enough where a "high-performance, low-power" could
come from. Mitsubishi was one of DEC's original licensees for
StrongARM and has been a faithful licensee of ARM cores.

What's good enough for Microsoft is good enough for Linux, if
Indrema's decision to base its own games console on Nvidia's GeForce
- just like Microsoft's X-Box - is anything to go by.

Little-known Indrema was formed earlier this year, and is
apparently hard at work on its L600 Entertainment System, a
slim-line vertical - shades of PlayStation 2 there - Linux-based
games console-cum-Net access device-cum-MP3 player. It's based on a
600MHz CPU of unknown provenance and bundles 100Mbps Ethernet for
ADSL connections.

Curiously, Indrema doesn't say which Nvidia processor it's going
to use - but it will be a "future generation" one, at any
rate. To be fair, the company isn't expecting to ship for some time
- pre-production models aren't due to appear until "late summer
2000". By the time the L600 ships, Nvidia should be offering -
based on its own six-month roll-out schedule - the GeForce 3. The
L600's graphics engine will be built onto a daughtercard, allowing
newer, more powerful 3D chips to be added later.

HardwareCentral writes up a great article, with a chart that
lets you compare the GeForce2 GTS with some other new cards.

In this article, we take an in-depth look at the performance of
the GeForce2 GTS. We stack the GeForce2 GTS up against the Hercules
Prophet DDR-DVI and explore issues such as CPU scaling, AGP 2X vs.
AGP 4X, GeForce2 bottlenecks, overclocking and more.

Nvidia is currently at the top of its game. Not only is its
GeForce card the undisputed performance champion, but it has now
released its successor, and it is also the first to market with its
next generation part. Nvidia’s new GeForce2 GTS is an improved
version of the original GeForce card.

Dell visited us recently to demonstrate gaming with their
wireless networking technology...on notebooks! Yes, gaming on
laptops is not quite as smooth as gaming with a DDR GeForce, but
think of the possibilities when you add wireless LAN to the mix.
Suppose your girlfriend drags you along to a chick feel good flick.
Your girl could be crying over the emotional twists and turns of
"You've Got Mail," meanwhile you've got game, truncheoning
and tearing apart your buddy who's sitting in the parking lot
playing Unreal Tournament with you. No wires? No problemo!

Dell is currently shipping 11Mbps-capable wireless LAN cards,
using the IEEE 802.11 standard, in PC Card format for laptops and
PCI format for desktops. They demonstrated their technology for us
using tweaked Dell Inspiron laptops (more on those later), and we
have to say, the prospect of mobile wireless LAN play is extremely
attractive.

Intel has made available a white paper on its private dealer Web
pages which suggests that IT buyers will need microprocessors of
1GHz and up to 2GHz in order to run Windows 2000.

The report, from Competitive Systems Analysis, will bring tidings
of good will to Intel Central at Santa Clara, which just loves it
when Microsoft produces software that needs a mighty number cruncher
to make it tick.

According to the report, IT buyers are considering 1GHz PCs and
above as they look to modernise their desktops. "A key catalyst
has been the emergence of Windows 2000 Professional," the
report says. "This next generation PC operating system has a
voracious appetite for CPU cycle."

A big welcome please, for... Thunderbirdgate. Or should that be
ThunderVIAbirdgate?

AMD users hoping to update to the next slot A version of Athlon,
the Thunderbird, are in for a disappointment. Our friends at
Tecchannel in Germany have a story here
detailing timing problems with the Slot A version of the chip (the
socket A version is OK, apparently) and VIA's KX-133.

The upcoming KZ-133 and AMD's own Irongate chipsets are reported
to work fine. More than 30 Slot A motherboards currently use the
KX-133.

However, the move could frustrate some leading-edge Athlon
enthusiasts as the chip maker goes through a complex transition
process to a new packaging technology, known as Socket A.

Thunderbird, the code-name for the newest version of AMD's (NYSE:
AMD) Athlon desktop PC processor, will be available from PC makers
in June. But AMD will stagger the launch of Thunderbird based on two
packaging options, sources said.

Microsoft's PocketPC launch couldn't have come sooner, according
to a report by NPD Intelect. The US market research company's
numbers, cited by All Net Devices, show retail sales of
Windows CE devices have all but dried up.

NPD Intelect's stats, derived from sales through US retail and
mail order channels, show Palm held 87.3 per cent of the PDA market
in February, an increase of over 20 per cent on its February 1999
share of 65.5 per cent. IBM, a Palm OS licensee, also experienced
growth, seeing its share rise 0.5 per cent to 1.5 per cent between
February 1999 and February 2000.

On the CE side, of the main vendors, only Compaq saw a
year-on-year market share gain, rising 1.1 per cent, from 0.4 per
cent of the PDA market to 1.5 per cent. However, the other big CE
vendors, Casio and Hewlett-Packard, saw their shares fall 7.3 per
cent and 3.0 per cent, respectively. In February 1999, Casio held
12.2 per cent of the market; for the same month this year, it had
only 4.9 per cent. HP, meanwhile, fell from 5.7 per cent to 2.7 per
cent.

It's not only HP printer owners who are up in arms about the
company's inability to ship Win2K drivers for its products.

Following our stories last week on the lack of delivers for the
OfficeJet range of all-in-one printer/fax/scanners, several readers
have written in pointing out that owners of Hewlett-Packard CD
writers suffer from the same problem.

Adding insult to injury, CDR drivers (which are still at least a
month away) will cost as much as $25 plus shipping and can only be
ordered by phone for delivery by snailmail (please allow 2 to 3
weeks for delivery).
